Is it that hard for people to use the word "serious" in a conversation or what?[/QUOTE]
Holy shit people still say that?

Like what?
Anyone with an American accent that says "Bloody" sounds like a fucking moron.
"You don't know what [I]it's[/I] like."
That's what empathy is for..
Also, sometimes randoms obnoxiously say this without knowing whether I do, or do not actually know what [I]it's[/I] like.
"Mix and match"
Soccer mom shopping mentality summed up in a nutshell.
"Teen" and "teenager"
I don't know what it is about them, but when I hear them I cringe so hard I need facial reconstruction surgery. They sound horrible and seem to have negative connotations attached to them. When people say "It's because we're teenagers" I get legitimately annoyed.

No-one's used that term since 1999, though.
I don't know for sure if this counts, but I can't stand it when people say "thing" instead of the name of the thing they're referring to, and it's always in that shitty tone that tells you they think you're an idiot.
SAY THE GODDAMN NOUNS

Well just shit that idiots at college say really...
"basically" - when they can't think hard enough how to describe something.
"like" - when it's not used comparatively, such as at the beginning of a sentence.
"at the end of the day" - whenever they're loosing an argument (or usually, they already lost it.)
"To be fair"
"playing devils advocate"
"lel" like lol isn't bad enough.
"You're cheesing me"
"Bro, I'm going ham!!!"
"U mad bro?" when actually said out loud as part of a conversation.

[quote]The Netiquette Top 5
Netiquette is a set of guidelines that govern good manners on the Internet. Here are some of
the most important things to keep in mind when interacting with others online:
1. Treat Others as You Want to Be Treated
Sometimes it’s difficult to remember that another human, just like you, is behind the words on
your screen. Therefore, before you post anything in a public space, or send an e-mail, ask
yourself: How would I feel if I received this message? Is this how I would like to be treated?
Remember the human behind every message.
2. Take Ten – Then Send
If you find yourself about to hit the send button on an angry e-mail message, save the e-mail
in your drafts folder, and do something else for a little while. After ten minutes, go back and
reread the e-mail. Your words may look and sound much different after you’ve had a chance
to calm down.
This is true for any communication situation – an IM, a posting on a blog, a MySpace
comment. If you’re going to treat others as you’d want to be treated, remember to take ten
when you’re angry or upset.
3. Cyberspace is Face-to-Face
When communicating online, always ask yourself: Would I say these things to this person’s
face? Don’t take advantage of the fact that you’re not face-to-face to say things that you
wouldn’t normally say. One common example of this is to insult someone, and then hastily
type “just kidding” afterwards. This passive behavior is hurtful, and should be avoided.

4. Be Smart - Look Smart
People get to know you online through your writing. You are smart, so make sure your writing
reflects your intelligence.
Follow these rules to look smart online:
 AVOID ALL CAPS AND EXCESSIVE PUNCTUATION!!!!!!!! IT LOOKS LIKE
YOU’RE YELLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 Rereed threw you’re e-mails to check 4 korrekt punktuashun and grammer!
Use spell check and grammar check to catch most of the mistakes
 Keep your audience in mind. An informal writing style (full of abbreviations and
slang) works well with your friends, but it’s not appropriate when writing to
acquaintances or strangers. When in doubt, use a more formal writing style.
You can switch to a more casual style once you get to know someone.
5. State Facts as Facts and Opinions as Opinions
When talking online, remember that people often write about their opinion as if it were fact.
Read and contribute to posts and chats understanding that what’s being discussed is
opinion. Facts can be contradicted, but everyone is entitled to an opinion.[/quote]

This isn't really cringeworthy tbh, other than 4 "You are smart"
I also feel like the term "awesome" is overused.
The Web, or the World Wide Web being used to describe the internet.
I dunno, they just seem ridiculously corny and 90s.

All of my agrees. I was just about to post this. Oh, and "adolescence" really gets my goat.
Literally.
it's literally the worst offender I think we all agree
i h8 when ppl talk like they are fukin 10 yrs old just bc they r on the net
You pieces of shit we have all finished school, why do you type like I did when I was little kid and first found the internet
You're either typing on a keyboard or on your phone which types correctly FOR YOU

Oh.
You know what i mean, Jellybean?
Anything to do with that "shiba doge" shit. its getting annoyingly overused now.

Just seeing that word hurts me.
"Meh" or "Eh"
I don't even know why but it annoys the fuck out of me
I hate when people place the word "even" incorrectly in a sentence.
"Why did he do that even?"
[B]No[/B]
It's:
"Why did he even do that?"
"Real" music.
